Chapter 206 This detective is not very good
The next day, afternoon.
Conan is still in school today, and the people of Tokyo are not suffering for the time being.
Lin Xinyi, who had nothing to do, skipped work early as usual and hurried back to study to recharge.
When he walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department building, Xiao Ai's phone happened to call.
"Oh, you've already borrowed that professional book from the library?"
"Okay, you can start cooking now, I'll go directly."
"Okay, I won't go home today. We will study it slowly at night."
With a smile on his face, Lin Xinyi spoke to the phone with an unconsciously warm tone.
Suddenly, he noticed the sound of footsteps behind him.
The footsteps were neither near nor far away, always lingering behind him, maintaining a very subtle fixed distance.
Lin Xinyi quickened his pace slightly, and the footsteps became faster and denser.
The other party was obviously following him, but he was following him very closely - it seemed that the guy had no intention of concealing his presence.
Lin Xinyi immediately hung up the phone and turned to look at the mysterious stalker:
"you again?!"
He saw the handsome dark-skinned guy he dumped yesterday, Hattori Heiji.
"Manager Lin." Hattori Heiji stuck to him like a piece of brown sugar, but this time, his tone was a little less arrogant: "Your reasoning ability is indeed impressive."
"Yesterday's confrontation was considered a defeat for me."
Lin Xinyi: "???"
He was silent for a while, and then he didn't answer. Instead, he shouted at the top of his voice:
"Security, where's the security?"
"Hey, wait!" Hattori Heiji hurriedly grabbed Lin Xinyi.
He pointed at the Metropolitan Police Department building behind him and said, "Manager Lin, I was waiting for you outside the building this time. I didn't 'sneak' into the Metropolitan Police Department building!"
"." Lin Xinyi had nothing to say and could only send a disgusted look at this annoying guy: "That's enough, Mr. Hattori."
"Don't think that because your father is a police inspector, he can come here unscrupulously and interfere with the normal work of our police department."
When he went to work today, Lin Xinyi specifically asked the police officers why they released Hattori Heiji so quickly yesterday.
The answer I got was that this kid was just like his skin color, his life was precious and he couldn't afford to offend him.
But ordinary police officers don't dare to mess with him, but Lin Xinyi does.
Because he is a temporary worker.
The worst he could do was get fired if something went wrong. Anyway, he was forced to join the police because of the organization's tasks, so he didn't care at all.
Therefore, Lin Xinyi now seems to be quite upright and awe-inspiring, with the courage to defeat the powerful and the powerful:
"Hattori Heiji, this is the Metropolitan Police Department, not your Osaka Prefecture."
"As long as I, Lin Xinyi, am in charge of the forensics class, you kids from aristocratic families shouldn't even think about coming here to act wild!"
"I" Hattori Heiji was so shocked that his face turned red.
Especially when passers-by Xun Sheng looked at him and pointed at him with the eyes of those who were watching the Tianlong people, he was even more ashamed and couldn't raise his head:
"Say, what are you talking about?"
"This has nothing to do with my dad!"
He tried hard to put aside his personal achievements and family background:
"I am a detective who is recognized for my strength. Don't think of me as that good-for-nothing playboy!"
"For Manager Lin, didn't you once have a duel with that Kudo Shinichi?"
"I forgot to say when I made the introduction yesterday:"
"Actually, I am known as the 'Kansai Hattori', and Kudo is known as the 'Kanto Kudo' - I am as famous as Kudo Shinichi, and my strength will definitely not be worse than his!"
Hattori Heiji thought that Lin Shinichi was questioning his value as a famous detective because of his status as an official.
So he simply showed off his name as the "Suit Club" and wanted to let Lin Shinichi know that his level was definitely not inferior to Kudo Shinichi's and that he was an opponent worth fighting.
When Lin Xinyi heard this, his expression really changed:
"Are you really similar to that Kudo Shinichi?"
"That's right!" Hattori Heiji said proudly: "In terms of the quantity and quality of cases solved, we are evenly matched!"
"This" Lin Xinyi was in awe when he heard it.
He immediately took Hattori Heiji's hand and said solemnly:
"I lose this time, please go back to Osaka as soon as possible!"
"Tokyo really can't afford a second famous detective."
The last famous detective was sealed away by the school for two days with great difficulty, and now that another one appears, he doesn't have to go off work.
"Forest Manager."
Although he couldn't quite understand some of it, Hattori Heiji still heard the disgust behind Lin Xin's words.
"It seems you still don't quite believe in my ability as a famous detective!"
"How about this"
He actually did not entangle any further, but took the initiative to retreat and distance himself:
"Yesterday's game, we continue to do it today."
"If I win today, how about you agree to fight me once?"
"Uh?" Lin Xinyi was confused.
But Hattori Heiji had already accepted this small challenge as Lin Shinichi by default.
He waved his hand, showed a sunny and confident smile, turned around and left alone.
"baffling."
Lin Xinyi stayed where he was, with only confusion in his eyes.
Soon after, the Mori Detective Agency.
Hattori Heiji took a taxi and arrived here as quickly as possible.
As soon as he got out of the car, he walked up to the second floor and knocked on the door of Maori Office.
It was Mao Lilan who came to open the door. As soon as she saw this strange dark-skinned young man, she asked politely:
"Sir, are you here to give me a commission?"
"No." Hattori Heiji shook his head.
He didn't explain much, but passed by Mao Lilan and walked straight into the house.
Taking a closer look, there were two men, one large and one small, inside the room:
Mouri Kogoro was drinking and watching TV on the sofa, and Conan had just come home from school, still carrying a schoolbag and sneezing.
As soon as they saw Hattori Heiji coming in, they couldn't help but cast curious and doubtful glances.
But Hattori Heiji remained silent and did not respond.
He just quietly observed everything in the room, and finally set his sights on the kitchen.
After smelling the faint aroma of steaming rice wafting from the kitchen, his pupils suddenly glowed with confidence.
"That." Mao Lilan followed closely.
Facing Hattori Heiji who barged into the room without saying a word, her tone became a little subtle:
"Who are you?"
"Ha ha."
Hattori Heiji took off the peaked cap on his head, smiled at Maori Ran, and introduced himself:
"I am Hattori Heiji, a high school detective from Osaka."
"You may have heard of the saying 'Higashi Kudo, Western Hattori', and I am the 'Kansai Hattori'."
He seemed to realize that the name Hattori Heiji was not very useful in Tokyo, so he simply asked Kudo Shinichi as a reference.
"As famous as Shinichi."
"High school detective?!"
Mao Lilan was slightly startled and looked at Hattori Heiji with a strange look:
Indeed, although this guy looks a bit darker, in terms of temperament, he is very similar to Kudo Shinichi.
Their eyes are so sharp and they are always full of confidence.
"But, high school detective, what are you doing here?!"
Mouri Kogoro looked at this uninvited colleague with dissatisfaction.
He looked at Hattori Heiji with the slightest caution, while Conan, who was sneezing at the side, also looked curiously at this young man who, like himself, claimed to be a "high school student detective".
But Hattori Heiji found a place to sit down by himself very familiarly:
"Actually, I'm not here to find you."
"I came here to wait for Mr. Lin Xinyi."
"Huh??" Everyone was stunned.
Mao Lilan looked over even more confused:
"Why are you waiting for Mr. Lin Xinyi to come to my house?"
"Ha ha."
Hattori Heiji smiled proudly:
"Because I have deduced that Mr. Lin Xinyi will be here today."
"So I took a taxi and came here ahead of him, and waited here for him to show up."
"???" Mao Lilan said with a question mark on her face:
Lin Xinyi is coming here today, why doesn't she know?
Seeing her confused look, Hattori Heiji thought that everyone was shocked by his ability to "foresee the unknown".
So, he talked about his reasoning process by himself:
"When I met Mr. Lin Xinyi in front of the Metropolitan Police Building, I happened to hear him talking on the phone."
"Although I didn't hear the entire conversation, I can infer just from the three sentences I heard:"
"One, he is not going home today. Instead, he is eating and staying at the house of the person who spoke to him."
"This shows that he has a very close relationship with the person who called him."
"And the caller will help him prepare dinner, and the gender is most likely female."
"Two, he wants to study some 'professional book' with that person at night."
"This shows that that person not only has a close relationship with Lin Xinyi, but also has some relationship with him in professional studies."
"In addition, when Lin Xinyi was on the phone, the corners of his mouth naturally raised, and his tone was gentle and warm. It was completely different from when he usually talked to his colleagues."
"It feels like talking to your lover on the phone."
After some analysis, Hattori Heiji's eyes flashed with wisdom:
"Obviously, the person Lin Xinyi wants to meet today:"
"It can only be that since you are his student, you will study professional books with him."
"I have a close relationship with him. I will prepare dinner for him and let him stay overnight."
"Miss Mao Lilan, you are here!"
Hattori Heiji spoke the answer with great confidence.
However, he actually left something very important unsaid.
That is, during the past two days, I quietly investigated Mao Lilan, the "beautiful girl forensic doctor" who is also famous in Tokyo as Lin Xinyi's direct disciple.
Hattori Heiji happened to find out from an insider named "Suzuki Sonoko" that Miss Maorilan seemed to have a close relationship with Mr. Lin Shinichi.
It was just that Xiaolan was thin-skinned and considered the feelings of her best friend, so she did not admit this "open secret" that had actually been widely circulated in society.
And with the highly credible and powerful information provided by this insider,
Hattori Heiji had already determined that Mao Lilan was Lin Xinyi's girlfriend.
In this case, the caller who chatted intimately with Lin Xinyi on the phone naturally had to be Mao Lilan.
Strictly speaking, this is not reasoning, just the most basic intelligence gathering ability.
It's just that telling the truth would ruin the atmosphere, and it wouldn't be conducive to reflecting my wisdom as a famous detective.
In addition, the "informant" Miss Suzuki specifically asked him not to let Xiaolan know that she already knew what Xiaolan didn't want her to know.
Therefore, Hattori Heiji concealed this important argument and gave the answer directly:
"This is where Lin Xinyi will come today!"
"Including the time difference between the taxi and the subway, minus the time we just chatted."
"I think he should be here in five minutes at most."
Hattori Heiji's voice was extremely confident, but what he was greeted with was...
There was an eerie silence.
In silence, Mao Lilan said somewhat uncontrollably:
"Are you really the same name as Shinichi?"
"I feel like your level of reasoning is..."
She was embarrassed to say such harsh words, but Conan rolled his eyes for her rudely:
"It doesn't seem to work!"
